BOO!

Every year I walk in the Tufts Harbor http://www.harborwalkrun.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=1006775
walk in Boston, MA with my family in my sisters honor. She has Mitochondrial disease and like many diseases, there is no cure.

Every year I raise money for the cause and this year I decided to send anyone who donated in support of me an original piece of artwork as an extra incentive.



Prints of the original are available here.

Every year, I also donate 1% of all income earned on the art I have sold throughout the year to the Tufts organization.

I also inverted the image in Photoshop. I thought it looked like an etching and I like it a lot. Oh how I wish I had the money for the supplies and the patience to etch.
Prints of Ghosts 1 (inverted) are available here.

For anyone who purchases a print, I will donate 10% of profits to Tufts.

Thank you for your support.
Cheers!

Mito Action



By now most of you know that my sister has Mitochondrial Disease. This is unfortunate and we (family and friends) are trying to make life easier for her while research is being done to find a cure.
What you don't know is that I started helping out a non-profit organization called Mito Action.
These people are provide a great service for people with Mitochondrial Disease. They help provide support and information to help people cope with the disease while the doctors are trying to cure it.

I decided to offer my services and play a small role in the grand scheme of things. Since 2005 I have created a logo for a tote bag, a 3'x3' Oil painting on Canvas for a fundraiser in 2006 and in 2007 I created some posters and a logo (see above) which has since been changed into the Identity of Mito Action as well as other various marketing media.

If you happen to stumble upon a large roll of green bills and are feeling generous stop by the Mito Action web site and lend a hand.

I thank you for your support as does my entire family and I hope you all enjoy the summer!

Cheers,

-Mike
